House Committee on Education and Labor Student Loan Reform Proposals
In anticipation of the November midterm elections, House Education and Labor committee members released bills outlining their Higher Education Act legislative priorities should their party gain a majority in the House in 2023.
Both the Republicans' REAL Reforms Act and the Democrats' LOAN Act have a significant focus on federal student loan reform, but each bill touches on Pell grants and includes other miscellaneous provisions.
